Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay Yisini had been following Arkadin around for about three hours now. He hadn’t been doing anything impressive or particular, he had just been going from planet to planet, looking around and clearing up after natural disasters, plagues and wars. Not that Arkadin minded. He clearly knew she was there but he was definitely pretending that … Read more
“OH WHAT NOW?” the angry deity roared as the roof of the building collapsed around them. “Why are YOU summoning me?” The gathering of scared mortals huddled together, avoiding the falling debris. One of them meekly raised their hand, only to quickly lower it when the deity started shouting again. “I LITERALLY JUST DEALT WITH … Read more
“Oh Great Thantophor, we beg for your assistance!” Arkadin rubbed his eyes as he rolled over. There was a very small, furry creature standing by his hand, dressed in tattered black and yellow robes. Blood caked its paws, one of which was holding a staff with a small skull on it. “How did you get … Read more
“You broke quarantine.” “I do not care.” “You broke a lot of things.” Tenuk grunted as he sat down in the co-pilot seat, next to Retvik. They were both angry but for vastly different reasons. Retvik was watching the navigation screen. The ship was on autopilot, floating in orbit around Portalia, waiting for permission to … Read more
“Aaaaarky?” Yisini’s voice echoed across the grassy plains. The grass may have been brown and pink and the wind may have been howling, but the Allbirther’s voice carried across the sky, rushing through dead trees and over trickling rivers. The Deadlands of Kinigi were always a quiet, peaceful place, but the only thing that ever … Read more
Teekay tried to work out what was going on and clearly couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation, apart from the fact that he was being held at gunpoint. In front of him were seven fully armoured Rethans, all silently scowling at him. It had all started with a simple knock. And then a … Read more
“I cannot believe that they just let you do all of this online…” Teekay blinked as he watched Elkay fill in forms. The process was going incredibly slowly, not because the forms were hard to answer, but because Elkay didn’t know what to put, aside from his name and date of birth. The fact that … Read more
“Well, I am glad that I finally got to use those…” Teekay muttered as he tried to catch his breath. “Even if it wasn’t me using them…” “I am glad you came prepared too…” Elkay’s mood was hard to judge from where Teekay was. He’d always thought that Elkay was a very fit and healthy … Read more
Sheets of paper littered the table, spilling onto the floor. Elkay looked on in confusion as Teekay printed out more and more paper, stopped, then refilled the printer. “Uh… What are you doing?” Teekay looked up. “Printing things out.” “Well obviously, but what are you printing out?” “Forms” “What for?” “Repatriation.” Elkay tutted. “Did you … Read more
“Hi.” “Hi…” “You awake?” Elkay lifted his head wearily. “I am now.” “Sorry, but I have a lot of questions and I really have to ask you now.” Teekay was sitting on top of Elkay, pinning him down. How Elkay hadn’t noticed, he wasn’t sure. But he was so exhausted that it was possible he’d … Read more
Kairos had never liked the little moon which Yisini called home. It was a stunningly beautiful little planetoid, with a rich, thick atmosphere, plenty of fresh water and more blooming plant species living on it than one could shake a stick at. On top of the precious flora, there were also plenty of exotic animal … Read more
The wind was harsh. Harsher than normal. It was accompanied by a spattering of rain, not hard enough to require shelter but present nonetheless. Right now, Elkay didn’t care as he stared into the dark abyss, contemplating his life. He knew the exact moment where it had all shattered. Leading the innocent to safety. Protecting … Read more
Retvik sat at the control panel, staring out into the strange environment outside. It was raining shards of pale blue glass, sharp sheets of crystal meth, and the swaying trees outside had been completely battered. Based on the planet’s orientation, it should have been entering summer season, but the sudden changes to the planet had … Read more
Elkay stared out of the window, torrents of thoughts sloshing through his mind. He had been living with Teekay for a few weeks now, and although he was comfortable and feeling better, there were many things that were bothering him. Right now, the biggest issue Elkay had was how it was always dark outside. Elkay … Read more
Normally, Volt didn’t accept random invitations. But today’s random invitation was from a familiar friend. Someone he hadn’t spoken to in a while. A normally very happy little Excalibur who often found himself stuck in the past. But as Volt accepted the random invitation, he realised all was not well. “GO AWAAAAAAY!” Excalibur screamed as … Read more
